I’m not convinced on TJ yet. It could be a case that his groin injury has de-railed a potential move. Also Yaha resigned for Catalans after TJ’s injury. Some teams willing to take a punt on him may not now be as keen. This may put us back in the driving seat for his signing. It’s all guesswork at the moment until something officials announced. TJ is my favourite player but if he goes I do rate Murphy too. It’s just a matter of waiting till somethings announced.'"
In all honesty, I wouldn't be too concerned if he went really.
Yes, he is, in his day, a potential match winner. However, sadly his injury record is a concern, and he's only thst potential match winner when he's on the field.
I would imagine if we did try to keep him, he'd provably end up being one of our top earners.
Sadly, I think he averages something like 17 games a season. For me, with a club with our finances, you need your top earners yo be playing more games.
I'd rather be fighting hard to keep Batch, and be looking to replace Miller with a quality half back, maybe two if Lino goes as well

| Miller has already signed for Castleford 100% and also other players have signed pre contract agreements elsewhere,the club are as expected not saying this as it would make them look even worse than we do now

Never said they are staying. Just that you don't know.

The pimp is a classic example of someone who writes the narrative to suit himself. If it’s positive news then basically it’s all part of the clubs huge lie. If it’s negative it’s immediately credible no matter how dubious the source.
Hence when things go well he never posts or posts disparaging comments. If it’s negative he posts quicker than a whippet on heat.

| I'm sure he brings more to the team than we perhaps see on the pitch, however Miller has not been a world beater for us. Maybe he'll go well with a different set of players around him.
I hope he stays, but I won't be crying if he goes.
He's not the Messiah.

He's not the messiah, but he's decent and we can't afford to replace him with the messiah either. Probably not even Brian!
For me the best way to go is to let TJ go, let Miller go if he really wants to join our rivals and use that money to replace Miller with someone good and keep Fifita and Batch.

Not too sure about Fifita, i dont think he is the player of a few seasons back. I believe we have had the best of him. However Batch I would love to hang on to for many different reasons. Now I do not know for sure but there seems to be many rumblings on the various grape vines and gossip sites, we have lost him. Real shame if true.

Batch has definitely gone.
TJ and Miller more than likely to gone but still playing a bit of a dance with the club.
Batch though has gone and has informed the club of his decision. In truth it was a miracle he signed his last deal with us so we probably got a bit more time out of him than we should have.

I at least don’t keep stating an already disproven statement because I do make positive posts when we win, even if this goes against your pre perceived narrative.
I have read many negative posts you yourself write, not much positivity on your part.
I actually do write the posts myself without any guidance unlike someone I can mention. I note you now want a good clear out of the existing squad, I presume you want all the money saved to be used to replace these players. The problem is that the team has bounced along for several seasons we may not even survive in SL after this one so where do these replacements come from. I regret a redeveloped ground will not immediately overcome our perceived shortcomings to any players.
I would ask your contacts what is going on, you never know they may actually tell you if they have a master plan but I doubt it because they really do appear to not know how to get us out of our current mess. I wonder how the majority of supporters not represented on the forum will feel if Fifita, Batchelor, TJ and Miller announce they have signed elsewhere, I doubt it will be oh good time for a clear out. If Lino and Tanginoa leave then your friends will need to confirm why, one would presume it is to receive a transfer and reduce the salary budget.

Do know what you could clear just about the full team for me they've hardly set the league of fire and done nothing to get out of the bottom for years
Time we became a selling club

We have every choice. Bowes is playing well in the reserves and has played well when called up to first team. We should be leaving JC at 13. It’s lads like JC, Bowes, Batch, Murphy etc who will give their right arm for trinity to get a win I suspect.

| Quote: lampyboy "Jacob Miller says the Wakey club will always be close ro his heart no matter what happens. He goes on to say that his 2 young children have been born in Wakefield so it's not going to be eraised from his memory.
WP xays Jacob will make a decision based on what's best for him, but he hopes he stays.
WP also says a club like Wakefield must stay within its budget.
O do the club value Jacob and are prepared to push the boat out a little to keep him in the red white and blue,
I hope so because any replacement will not come cheap.'"
A replacement might not come cheap , but with his , Johnstone n tupou’s wages getting weighed in I’m sure we can temp some quality into the fold
